Guide to Get Lost<\/strong>
Ricardo Gomes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Guide to Get Lost is an illustration project conceived as a comic, informal and poetic guide to getting lost on purpose. Instead of leading the reader to a destination, it values the unknown, chance, freedom and discovering new experiences along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guide comes inside an audio-cassette case, a format that recalls a way of traveling before the ubiquity of GPS and digital navigation. The case becomes a vehicle for a nostalgic imagination linked to car journeys, paper maps, unknown roads and the cassettes that went along for the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication gathers ten tips combining short texts and illustrations, working as instructions, suggestions and provocations for anyone willing to abandon the planned itinerary. Each tip comes with a song, meant to be heard while carrying out the proposed action, creating an experience in which text, image and sound complement each other. Taking a back road, stopping somewhere unexpected, talking to a stranger or simply noticing what usually goes unseen are some of the guide\u2019s suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The graphic language follows this idea with a deliberately retro, informal aesthetic, drawing on visual references from road-trip culture and the objects that went with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a navigation manual, Guide to Get Lost is an invitation to recover a more spontaneous way of traveling, where not knowing exactly where you\u2019re going is not a problem but an opportunity. A small guide for those willing to trade the destination for the experience of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
